WHEW!!

SO many experiences, much change and transition over the past 24 months for me!

As many already know, I’m an experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-500 RYT) with over 30 years of practice, knowledge and training on guiding yoga and meditation. Long time enthusiast of the healing arts; former Yoga Studio Owner (Hollis Yoga) and recently retired from an extensive IT Marketing career with Hewlett Packard/Compaq Computers/Digital Equipment Corporation. Participated in many past workshops and retreats, though—initially trained in the Krilapu and Anusara-inspired styles by Todd Norian (200 hr); as well as the Himalayan Institute’s Advanced Hatha techniques (500 hr) of Allahabad, India (Swami Rama tradition)—in addition, an energy sensor trained in the original Reiki Usui methods by Lourdes Gray, Reiki master and co-founder of the John Harvey Gray Center for Reiki Healing.

I’ve always thought when I retired from hi-tech marketing, I would simply move more earnestly into the healing arts and practices. However, much to my surprise—until recently I’ve lacked interest and enthusiasm. Solely concentrating on my own personal practices and even questioned my drivers, motivators and triggers as to why I got into leading yoga in the first place has been a very interesting process of inquiry. I haven’t wanted to make any commitment to ANYTHING up until now. I guess I was just out of gas on so many levels…

Finally, I feel good and even excited about leading yoga again. Slowly, I’ve been gearing into what I want to do and have decided and even committed!

As I return to one of my greatest joys—sharing practices with like minds—I’ll forever be grateful for the pilgrimage experiences in India and Southeast Asia where my perspectives of people, cultures and spiritual practices have been altered and shaped over time.

Come, and experience yoga as therapy for the spirit—Sunday Morning Soul Flow is an approachable, moderate yoga practice with a little yummy Yin (60 second holds) and Metta, loving-kindness meditation woven in.

Practice will be from 10am to 11:30am. Beginning on the alternate Sundays of June 4th and 18th and then, running each Sunday starting in July. I do hope you can join me from time to time, as I’m looking forward to reconnecting and sharing our soulful practices once again…
